So using Dan as an example - as I know he'll understand.
Prams, without the backstory says nothing, even with the back story it's still not that interesting an image. Two blokes or more with prams maybe?
Then you get these. Brilliant spot focus drawing attention straight to the seated figure. Why is she? there, what is she doing, on the phone? Enoughs hidden to make you question, query, look around the image for possible answers.
And this, the juxtaposition of the poses is brilliantly spotted, almost as if the old gent is joining in the fashion parade.
So, it's not just images of people in a street, thats not interesting street photography, lets have something else, that spark, something that draws the attention to look, not just pass over. This doesn't mean don't shoot but perhaps a little more self critical analysis?

My first go at capturing strangers in the street... A bit of a mixed bag really, trying to learn the art of zone focus, but needs lots more practice to master!

Great stuff, Dan.
Javier, where have you been? So glad you're back. I've really missed seeing your photos.

The DJ Grandpa shot Garry, is well seen and is right on the money for me.
Thanks, George. He's been in Trafalgar Square quite a bit since the weather improved.
I don't do much people or candid shots. I think I might have been rumbled on this one!

That's very well seen Dan, it all links together very nicely
I really must try and get back into some street style work as I used to enjoy it very much.

That's nice Marcus, I find what appears to be a security camera (top left) a little distracting but other than that a good shot.

Now that you mention it - I think the closeness of the camera and the distance of the security camera, tell us that we are being watched... from everywhere

It seems there's a bug with the BB software. It's showing links but not all images. I'll upload mine later on. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to delete a post. Or am I just not seeing it?

A busker in town.
Busker by David Bloor, on Flickr
The guy actually gave some of the money he raised to another guy that asked him for some change.
In return for letting me take a snap him a few quid.
